The Story Of An Imperfect Girl

Chapter 11: At The Hospital Room

Blake's POV

"Pssst." I hear a female's voice. Someone's been poking me before I even felt it. "Blaaaake," It went again. I open up one eyeball and realize that it's Camber. How long was I unconcious? I tried to move my hips but a searing pain hits on my knee.

I winced. "Hey,hey,hey, don't move an inch will you?" Astonished as her face could be, she went up from her seat near my bed.

How long has she been here? I suddenly realized that my cheeks feel warm when I made a scenario that she has been wating for me to wake up. She's looking at me like I have something on ym eyes but I get that she's checking out. I smiled a little so that she won't noticed it. I knew that the game's still running without me. The team's far more stronger than I am without me. 

She's still looking at me. I tried to break the awkwardness by asking a question. "How long had I been passed out?" 

"Hm... Half an hour. I thought you had died." She made a grotesque face that I laugh. "Seriously?! I just sprained my knee you dimwit." I retorted but I'm still laughing. Her cheekbones are visible when she smiles... I like it, she looks more beautiful in that way.

"Blake, I'm very sorry okay?" She said with a glint of sadness. She tensed up a little and wiping her jeans with her hands.

"About what?" I know what she's going to say and I can't believe that I even felt guilty of myself for remembering it.

"About that bracelet I gave to you. I think that causes bad luck to you." She's still looking at her jeans. I felt half disappointed. I thought that she's gonna say sorry to me about in the mansion thing. "and about you making you pissed and you making me leave," This is not what I really wanted to turn out. 

"It's okay... I even have a mistake too." Is this a heart-to-heart talk? Because this is the first time I have said sorry to someone which is a girl! "You know... for storming out and for yelling you to go out... 

At first she eyed me quizically and then she surprised me with a hug which I felt my knee yell in pain again but she never let me go. I hugged her back but my hands are uneasy to move freely. She back out shyly and flushed.

"S-Sorry," She's nervous alright. Even though we already said sorry to each other, I don't want to make friends with a girl who doesn't even know how to pick. Epecially that incident with Kyle. It spread since ninth grade. I kept reasing Kyle about it and he get pissed off until today.

"It's alright. I won't do it again, okay?," I moved my body slowly to prevent my sprain from being hurt. I look at her when she's not looking. Her eyes are light brown. Are you checking out Camber Paige, Blake? I thought you dislike her. She nodded.

She isn't smiling and I can sense that she wants to leave. "Hey, why don't you go home, I'm sure your friend wonders where you are." I said, as I tried to convince her. She look at me confuse but I don't think I can get a hunch of what she wants.

"Lizzy knows where I am. She said that she'll bring up the boys here when they're done playing. So... I'm going to wait." She said. Okay... I can wait for them. She continued,"I'm just going to go to the washroom. Uh, I'll be back in a flash." I flash her a slight smile and left the hospital room.

Camber's POV

I'm sweating back there! I can't believe that we admitted our mistakes and said sorry to each other! Now, I don't have to worry about this problem anymore. But I'll stay accquintance with Blake though. Now I know his true nature, I'll just look for another tutor. I don't want it to be happening again. I don't want to encounter another jock on my way.

I took a deep breathe as I went pacing past by the other hospital rooms. I was looking down. I couldn't handle myself because of the silence between us. Damn! It must be because of his green eyes. Why did I even go here? I shouldn't be concern for him am I? Oh! No,no,no,no,no. I suddenly bumped into a person whose hard as a rock.

"Camber!" Tom startled me as soon as I heard his voice. 'What?" He continued. "Where's Blake?!" I hear River's voice. 

"He's on room 946, he must be doing something like... sleeping? I don't know. I just go to the washroom," I smiled and my smile faded when I saw Kyle behind Colt. He's looking ratherly shy and ends up staring me as I went.

Three minutes later, as I entered the ladies' room, I went to the Mirror tiled wall and fix myself. My hair's all tidied up. I stayed here more than one minute because I am trying to avoid Blake as possible. I didn't see Lizzy but I guess she's back there with Tom.

I will count one to three and I wil start going back to the room. 

1... Don't make any move that'll startle Blake.

2... Fine. You can visit him everyday... Maybe.

3... You're friend's there. Why are you all acting up like this? 

I walked slowly going to Blake's room. That sprain must have cost me to falter eh? Ugh! 

As I opened the door. The boys and Lizzy crowded up from Blake. "Hey, Dude. Are you alright back there?" Colt mentioned. "Yeah, My knee hurts when I try to move freely." Blake saw me but I tried to ignore it. But I failed. "What will you give me if I kick that boy who tripped you in the ass huh?" River said as he gritted his teeth.

At least he has real friends. I'm glad to have just one. "Hey, Red. Why don't you join us here?" Tom replied. I skipped to them and went between Tom and Colt. "It's a good thing that Red is here while we're away" Colt said as he looked at me slyly grinning. I plummet my elbow to his muscular arm as I blushed. Blake rolled his eyes.

"The team lost, Skip." Tom cried. I can see Blake tense up as he heard about what Tom mentioned. He might be thinking that this is his fault. "Don't worry, Dude.  We are still winners! No matter what, even if we lose, we will always end up winning in some point." River said. He's right.  Athletes can't just win sraight golds.

"Coach Rivera gave the Cats a red card." Colt smiled. 

 "I want to go out." Blake suddenly replied. He started moving slowly but the boys stopped him. "Wait, wait. Why? Your knee is still sleeping, Dude!" River cried. "Probably you're gonna be out by tomorrow." Tom said. 

"Blake, we'll just leave you here for a while because Coach wants to talk to us." River replied. Great! Are they gonna leave me here with him? I don't see Lizzy anywhere. I made a sour expression and Colt saw me heating up.

"Good luck, Red. We'll be back." He reassured me. I want to go out, but I can't just leave Blake behind. Anyways, the nurse will just take care of him. Colt and the boys left the room leaving me with the jerk... He did said sorry to me... But that won't change me for him.  

Shortly, A woman barged in the room and looked at Blake with a worried expression. She wore a very expensive dress and looks beautiful. She looks like a judge from a modeling agency. "Honey! What happened? Are you okay?" She hugged Blake and I snickered softly seeing his face squished like a jelly fish. He looks so cute! What the fuck? Is that his mom? 

"Mom! I'm fine. My knee! You're torturing it!" He yelped and his mom quickly moved away a little. "Sorry, Honey. I'm just worried that's all." She moved her eyes to me and smiled. "Hey... Camber right?" I nodded. How'd she know my name? "Thanks for taking care of my son for a while. I'm sorry that I have been long to get here." I smiled a little not because I suffered from talking to him like an idiot but because I'm shy. 

"You can go home now, Honey." She's still smiling at me and I just returned a slight grin and left the room abruptly. I can see Blake mouthing, 'Spread this to any single soul and you're dead!' I just rolled my eyes. I'm seriously going to tell this to Liz and get mad because she left me.
